"My Secret"

At first I ignored it
Thought I'd grow out of it
I was scared of it
My deepest darkest secret
Afraid they'd find out
Afraid they'd hate me
It was hard when I was younger
Got easier as I got older
Now I'm 16 I just dont care
I'm happy being gay
And that's the way it'll stay

"You are my Star"

I sit outside late at night,
Looking up at the stars,
Knowing, Someday we will both be up there.
If you leave before me i will follow close behind.
But if im the first to go,
Ill always be watching over you.
When i wonder off from the stars,
I stumble upon the moon,
Knowing ill be near it someday,
Knowing you will too.
After looking and thinking, deep and hard,
I go to a place. A place where only i go. Alone,
without you. My room.
I sit looking up, looking for the stars,
but all i see is white
I lay down and close my eyes,
I see you. Though it is only in my mind.
I open my eyes and im still alone. I fall asleep and
dream of you.
I awake, looking for you, looking for stars
you are my star.

"Broken Heart"

Have you ever felt like you were alone,
Trapped in a world of darkness with no way out,
Crying for unexplained pain,
The pain of a broken heart,
You wake up on everyday in sadness,
Hoping its all a dream,
Wondering what you did wrong,
And how you could make it better,
You try to let it go but it just wont dissapear,
A perminant scar traced on your heart,
That will never be erased,
You feel like your world is falling apart,
The feeling of love you had is gone for ever,
Love is a mystery that will never be solved?
Should love take ove our feelings?
Is love gone but not forgotten?
When you suffer the pain of a broken heart,
All days are identical but only the outcome is deceiving,
Hiding from the world outside,
Is what you think you have to do,
To what you think you have to do,
To gain the love and strength so you can go on living,
with happiness, no saddness,
To love is to risk not being loved in return,
but the biggest error is to not take that risk.

"Take me Away"

Take me away to into the sky
Where different types of birds do fly
Don't let my tears overflow
Dry my tears + take me to the place I must go
The place which is like pure paradise
Where families are loving + people are nice
A place where i can feel content
How long would it be Lord till my prayer recieved + your answer sent.

"The Boy Who Cries"

I could cry so much that the
Sea would rule the skies
the Boy who cries!

You see their Different from me
they have to be to fit in
But their Living dubble
Lives their trying to hide
From what they am
A lady for a man
thats the way it should be
but not for me
this so called "sexuality"
So what if i am a man for a man
It doesnt change the person i am
Yes! I shag boys
